Hi Klaus,

using Ktulu 4 now under arena.

yep. noticed same prob. but when i used ktulu 4 with a pre set pgn game
(i use arena and engines to analyze opening positions. for example. KID Main
line 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. Nf3 O-O 6. Be2 e5 7. O-O Nc6 8.
d5 Ne7 9. Ne1 Ne8 10. Be3 f5 11. f3 f4 12. Bf2 g5 13. c5 Ng6 14. b4
*) as you can see, i start after
10 moves or more,and i didnt get this problem.

my settings are

FUTILITY=TRUE
QEDGE 30
HASH 22
PAWNHASH 1
EVALHASH 1
MOVEIMMEDIATE=TRUE
CHAT=FALSE
QUANTIZATION=FALSE
QUICKPV=TRUE
HASH_CLEAR
END.

using my old laptop 450MZ with 98MB memory.
10/6 secs/game
versus various engines like patzer/el chinito/etc.

regards

maria
